PEEK at the Week: May 21
PEEK into the PAST: Pictured above is a 1962 snapshot of Gasses' Triangle Shell Station, located at the Chamber's current home at 550 Central Avenue. Gasses' Triangle Shell Station held that location down from 1958-1971.

Originally constructed in 1927-28, the corner location has had various address changes ranging from 546-550 Central Ave. When the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center moved in in 2009, there were over 20 businesses that came before it. Its main purpose was a service station from 1928-1977, before turning into a real estate & insurance office from 1979-1989, and eventually several different cellular companies from 1991-2008.

For more historical content, check out the Chamber's Instagram and Facebook . Peek into the Past is a special section running in PEEK this year to signify the 100th anniversary of the Chamber.
